Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 11 Gun Techniques: World Destruction

The night passed quickly.

As the first rays of dawn began to fall upon the earth, a loud broadcast rang out over the town.

"Time's up. All prospective martial artists, proceed immediately to the town entrance."

"it's over?"

Zhou Yang raised his hand, shook off the blood from the tip of the gun, and revealed a satisfied smile.

During that night, with monsters serving as his sparring partners, his combat skills and agility improved significantly.

Although he was still some distance from Luo Feng's abnormally advanced microscopic movement technique, he had already reached a level of proficiency that was easy to use at the basic level.

I believe that as long as I continue to practice and hone my skills, I will have the opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of the subtle body techniques in the near future!

Zhou Yang walked out along the dilapidated road, and as he got closer to the entrance of the town, more and more people surrounded him.

"Yoko, over here!"

A voice rang out from ahead. Zhou Yang looked up and saw Luo Feng, carrying a huge backpack, standing at the entrance waving at him.

He strode forward, first examining the backpack on Luo Feng's back, before smiling and saying:

"Wow, how many monsters have you killed? Your backpack is almost full!"

Luo Feng chuckled and patted Zhou Yang on the back, laughing in an exaggerated manner, "You're not bad either! You've almost wiped out all the monsters in town!"

The two chatted and laughed as they walked out of the town together.

At the entrance to the town, a squad of soldiers was inspecting the monster left ears that the prospective warriors had acquired to verify whether they had passed the test.

Most of the quasi-warriors are at the normal beginner warrior level, and they usually collect three or four monsters by the left ear. Of course, there are a few stronger ones who can collect ten or more.

As the crowd moved forward, Zhou Yang and Luo Feng soon arrived in front of the officer in charge of the inspection.

At this moment, the people around them recognized them. After all, out of the more than 1,600 prospective martial artists in this assessment, only four were recruited by the Limit Martial Arts Academy or the Thunder Martial Arts Academy.

The two people in front of us are two of those four.

All eyes fell on the two's backpacks. These aspiring martial artists were also curious about just how capable the people who were recruited in advance by the two martial arts schools were.

Facing the eager gazes around them, Zhou Yang and Luo Feng stepped forward together, opened their backpacks, and poured the animal ears into two containers next to them.

"Whoosh!"

The spilled animal ears piled up into two small mountains, and a thick, pungent smell of blood immediately filled the surrounding area.

"Wow, so many!"

Even the officer in charge of the inspection glanced at the two with slight surprise.

"Big brother, quickly count them! How many have they hunted?"

Curious prospective martial artists around them began urging the officer in charge of the assessment to hurry up and check.

Without further ado, the officers worked together, and soon the number of monsters the two had hunted was tallied.

"Zhou Yang, you've acquired 105 monster left ears!"

"Luo Feng, you've acquired 110 monster left ears!"

Upon hearing the numbers announced by the officer in charge of the assessment, the people around couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"My God, these two are freaks! Over a hundred monsters with their left ears! These two killed over a hundred monsters in one night!"

Amidst gasps of amazement, Zhou Yang and Luo Feng quickly walked out of the crowd.

"You crazy Luo, you've finally lost to me!"

Zhou Yang lightly punched Luo Feng's shoulder, feigning resentment, and said, "Extra training! We must train extra today and strive to surpass you, Luo Feng, as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing his words, Luo Feng showed a speechless expression.

"Come on, your punching power is already more than half that of me, and you're still training extra? Are you trying to make me lose?"

"There's nothing I can do; it's all because of the immense pressure you put on me, Luo Feng."

The two chatted and laughed as they quickly left, but in a corner of the crowd, a forgotten student named Wan Dong had an expression of extreme resentment on his face.

Just like in the original story, Zhou Yang and Luo Feng received a private invitation from the burly man at the Thunder Martial Arts School.

The burly man promised that if the two were willing to join the Thunder Martial Arts Academy, they would cover all their breach of contract penalties and provide them with top-tier training contracts from the Thunder Martial Arts Academy's global headquarters.

However, one of them was extremely loyal and unwilling to switch allegiances, while the other was a transmigrator who was familiar with the plot. Naturally, they were not moved by his sweet talk.

In the end, even that powerful figure, who wielded immense influence in Jiangnan Base City, could only leave dejectedly.

On the evening of August 2nd, at Villa No. 186, Chengmingyue Residential Area, Yangzhou.

Upon returning home, Zhou Yang immediately went into his room.

He has passed the martial arts combat assessment, and legally speaking, he is now a formal martial artist.

Some of the privileges that formal martial artists possess should have already been activated.

He quickly accessed the website of "Extreme Home," the internal network of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, on the computer in the room, and a login page appeared on the computer screen.

After verifying my fingerprint, it showed that I had successfully logged in!

In addition to his personal information screen, two notification emails were flashing continuously.

One letter informed him that the 20 million yuan in start-up funds and the 100 million yuan quota for free purchase of secret manuals promised by Zhuge Tao had arrived in his account.

The other email was a tutorial showing him how to use the Extreme Home feature.

Following the email prompts, Zhou Yang quickly familiarized himself with the various functions of this martial arts internal network.

"Secret manuals, equipment purchases, online tutorials, martial arts forums... this internal network is truly powerful!"

After familiarizing himself with the website for a while, Zhou Yang opened the online shopping mall page.

Enter search term — cheat code — attack type —

Upon clicking "OK," a long list of various skill manuals and their prices immediately appeared on the screen.

"Apocalypse", Category: Gun Technique. Rating: Ultimate. Price: 1000 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 500 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points).

"Ninefold Thunder Blade", Category: Blade Technique. Rating: Ultimate. Price: 1000 billion Huaxia Coins (full price), 500 billion Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points).

……

"Phantom Blade Technique", Category: Blade Technique. Rating: SS Rank. Price: 10 billion Huaxia Coins (full price), 5 billion Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: 3-star contribution points).

……

"Mist Sword", Category: Swordsmanship, Rating: S-rank. Price: 30 billion Huaxia Coins (full price), 15 billion Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points).

Looking at the long list of secret manuals and their outrageous prices, Zhou Yang couldn't help but marvel.

Money in this star-devouring sky is really worthless; it's worth hundreds of billions or even trillions at a time.

If this were in my previous life, the money to buy such a manual could have built dozens of J-20 fighter jets!

However, he did not hesitate and directly clicked to open the first-ranked manual.

"The Gun Technique 'World Destroyer'! Created by Hong, the world's strongest warrior, it's hailed as the world's premier offensive technique!"

"World Destruction" (All Six Levels) - Price: 1000 Billion Huaxia Coins (Full Price), 500 Billion Huaxia Coins (Half Price, Requirement: Four-Star Contribution Points)

The first five levels of "World Destruction" cost 400 billion Chinese Yuan (full price) or 200 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points).

The first four levels of "World Destruction" cost 150 billion Chinese Yuan (full price) or 75 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points).

The first three levels of "World Destruction" cost 60 billion Chinese Yuan (full price) or 30 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points).

The first two levels of "World Destruction" cost 10 billion Chinese Yuan (full price) and 5 million Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: two-star contribution points).

The first level of "World Destruction" - Price: 2 million Huaxia coins (full price), 1 million Huaxia coins (half price, requirement: one-star contribution points)

Although he was mentally prepared, Zhou Yang was still taken aback when he saw the long list of prices listed after the "World Destruction" manual.

These people are really good at this; they sell the secret manuals in layers, but without actually separating them completely.

For example, if you buy the first three levels of a manual this time, and then want to buy the fourth level next time, they will tell you - sorry, we don't sell them separately!

If you're going to buy it, just buy the first four items—which means you also have to buy the first three items again!

"Those big shots in this world really know how to make money!"

While complaining, Zhou Yang was also quickly weighing in his mind whether or not to buy it.

His first purchase of the manual included a free quota of 1 million from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, and he could ignore the contribution point requirement for a half-price purchase.

However, this amount of 100 million was just enough for him to buy the first level of the "World Destroyer" spear technique manual.

The synopsis states that "World Destruction" is an ultimate secret manual, extremely difficult to cultivate.

Moreover, once purchased, it cannot be returned or exchanged.

If I buy it myself and can't learn how to use it, I'll be losing a fortune!

"Looking back and forth is not the way of us time travelers!"

After a moment, Zhou Yang finally made up his mind.

Looking at the time travelers of all ages, they were all ambitious and aspiring individuals, and Zhou Yang was no exception.

If we're going to learn, we should learn the best! Otherwise, we'd be doing a disservice to our transmigrators!

Without further hesitation, he immediately began purchasing the first level of "World Destruction"!

"Please confirm whether you wish to purchase the first level of 'World Destruction,' which requires a payment of 1 million Chinese Yuan!"

"Beep! Confirmed!"

"Purchase successful! The guide will be delivered within 24 hours!"
